"the New Christians generally intermarried among each other; but many were the occasions in which the bluest blood condescended to ally itself with heiresses of Hebrew lineage"
This seemingly insignificant sentence hides a few pieces of evidence that the Jews were NOT WHITE PEOPLE. Firstly it says that the Jews did not marry other people. Secondly it said that the bluest blood sometimes lowered their standards enough to marry Hebrew women.
First what is blue blood? What does it mean and where is it from? Well according to this website blue blood is the blood of Goths ie. Germans. The term was used in Spain in the middle ages to proove that one was Spanish and noble not Moorish, that is, of dark people. In order to prove one was not Moorish the Spaniard would display the paleness of his skin and visibility of his veins under thereby proving he was no Moor.
Secondly if the blue bloods are lowering their standards to marry Hebrew women, that means that the Hebrew women cannot also be blue bloods, that is pale and see-through. Another deceptive snake caught in his hissing.
